Vasculitis is a group of medical conditions which cause damage to the blood vessels through inflammation. Depending on which blood vessels are affected, vasculitis can be classified as large vessel, medium vessel, or small vessel vasculitis. Learn about the signs and symptoms of vasculitis such as purpura, bloody stool and urine, and bruits. Vasculitis can cause vessel walls to thicken and narrow, cutting off vital blood supply to tissues and organs.
Symptoms include fever, fatigue, weight loss, and muscle and joint pain. Some forms of vasculitis improve on their own. Others require medications.

In what could be termed as a major medical breakthrough, scientists have
been carrying out tests utilising microscopic stealth drones, made from
plastic-like material and about 1,000 times smaller than the tip of a
human hair.

These drones or nanoparticles are capable of latching on
to hard plaques in the arteries containing fat cholestrol and calcium
and would release a drug derived from natural protein thus repairing the
inflammation damage in the body. Successful tests have been carried on
lab mice where the atherosclerosis or clogged arteries were repaired
after 5 weeks of treatment. The plaques were stabilised, making it less
likely for fragments to break off and clog blood vessels. Although they
had clogged arteries the lab mice didn't suffer from heart attacks.
Researchers have therefore concluded that more tests were needed before
the drones are tested on humans. For the human trials a fine tune of
particles, which would enable optimised drug delivery is being planned.
The drugs would be powerful and anti-inflammatory. This could be a major
step in the treatment of heart diseases.

Public health officials said on Wednesday that six more cases of measles had been confirmed in
California, bringing to 119 the total number of people infected by a strain of the virus that has also been linked to a large outbreak in the Philippines.
More than 150 people across the United States have been diagnosed with measles, many of them linked to the wave of illness that authorities believe began when an infected person from out of the country visited Disneyland in late December.
California Department of Public Health researchers, in a report to federal officials released on Friday, said that specimens from 30 of the state's measles patients had been genotyped and that all were of the same strain that has caused an outbreak in the Philippines.
That same genotype has been detected in at least 14 countries and six other U.S. states in the last six months, the researchers said, and the source of the illness that sickened visitors at the Disney theme park has not been identified. Source

Dr. Samuel Katz of Duke University, the most senior and respected pro-vaccine scientist, talks about what measles is, it's history and proper treatment.

Winner of British Animation Award 2008, public choice: commercial catagory - We made this film for Amnesty International - Brian Cox is the voice of Measles.. an attempt to lure people back to old fashioned, diseased dying instead of the more modern war and killing style demises! 'It's just not natural!
